1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Based on the control-value theory, this study aims to explore the relationship among university students' AI risk perception, AI learning anxiety, personal growth initiative, and AI usage capability. A questionnaire survey collected 1,001 valid data. SPSS 26.0 and PROCESS 3.4 were used for data processing. Results indicated that there was a significant negative correlation between AI risk perception and AI usage capability, and a significant indirect association through AI learning anxiety. Furthermore, personal growth initiative positively conditioned the negative association between AI risk perception and AI usage capability but negatively conditioned the negative relationship between AI learning anxiety and AI usage capability. This research offers a new perspective for understanding the emotional and cognitive mechanisms of college students in AI learning contexts and provides valuable insights for future AI education and system design.
